The ram-dagger sauceback split from its ancestor and moved inland. There it hunts large prey in a similar fashion as its ancestor, running into the victim and impaling it on its carapace spines. Its tusks are now curved and serrated, they are used for cutting meat into smaller pieces which makes digestion and swallowing easier, the tusks are often uneven due to being broken either during a miscalculated ram or twisting while cutting into something tough. The legs of the ram-dagger sauceback are huge to give power behind their rush attacks, and the tail is long to act as a counterbalance during running or carrying prey.

They live solitary lives except when coupling to mate. Females will bury their eggs to keep other things from eating them. The larvae are scavengers, and are a common sight on carcasses abandoned by others of this niche.
